Antique Airplane Assoc. Fly-In

So the whole thing is by invitation only...? (not just flying in?)
If you two are "kids" by AAA standards, then I'm a neonate premie...
(at 36)!

Are you and your family going this year?

Plannin' on it! See http://www.aaa-apm.org/flyins/

Another good one down this way is the Stearman Fly-In over in
Galesburg, IL. If you want to see a sky full of biplanes, that's the
place to be. See http://www.stearmanflyin.com/

Bertie,
What are you flying or restoring with a LeBlond?
I've seen a Rearwin not far from where I live in Madison (at Brodhead)
that I think had a LeBlond. There was also a Porterfield that was for
sale on one of the websites a year or two ago that had a LeBlond (I
think) in it. I didn't pursue looking into it because I wasn't sure
how much effort it would take to keep one running. After spending time
at OSH every year (and I've made it to a few other fly-ins) it just
looks like fun to fly these machines...

I'm curious what kind of trials and tribulations you've had (or not)
finding parts and keeping one running. I think part of the fun would
be interacting with likeminded folks out there to find parts...Another
aspect to the flying bug that I didn't realize when I first learned to
fly.

Thanks,
Ryan
